<VV> tach for monza

[Bill Elliott]

An EXTREMELY nice fit is an early Spyder tach into the Monza lock hole. No worries about the faceplate numbers and looks absolutely stock (for those 
that don't know it's not). Only downside is these are pricey.

>Hmm, sounds interesting.  I like the idea of using a Corsa tach because it'll look "original" and match the other gauges.  I'm not stock obsessed (a tach in 
a Monza?) but I'd like to look like it COULD have been stock.  I may try it - I'd love to have a tach.  I thought of putting in a Corsa dash but I'd like to keep it 
Monza-ish.  Where'd I put that dremel anyway....
